Lizarely Q.

We showed up 20 mins before closing, I know I know we were those customers but we had just gotten out of the theater and wanted a healthier dessert. My man has always been wanting to try it so we finally barely made it. They only had a few flavors left so we did a 6 pack which included strawberry crème I believe (my fave) s'mores, biscoff & cookies & crème. All were delicious. Less heavy, less calories, more protein, less guilt. Definitely a must stop everytime we're nearby.

Jalapeño and pepperoni pizza bread

We stopped by today out of curiosity and it was a great first experience. They were making fresh donuts when we walked in so the display was empty however the staff was extremely friendly and helpful explaining everything. We tried the pizza bread and donuts. Completely surprised they have brisket and tri tip meals to go!

Tried the s'mores protein doughnut and the protein pizza at The Protein Bar and was really impressed. The doughnut was soft and flavorful, without that typical protein aftertaste, and the pizza was satisfying and packed with flavor. The employee was very helpful and made the visit smooth and welcoming definitely coming back. Great spot for a healthier meal or treat.

All the donuts left 30 minutes after opening

Came in for the first time and was told 30 minutes after opening that a customer had cleared out all the donuts except a couple flavors. I was able to snag one biscoff, one s'mores and one cinnamon roll. The guy helping us was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, he says you are able to make pre-orders. I'm confused on the texture, I understand it wouldn't be the same as a normal pastry/donut, but the cinnamon roll was extremely tough and chewy, barely edible/chewable with the strangest cinnamon essential oil flavor. The donuts were better, super chewy, reminds me of a mochi donut, but tougher even though it weighs next to nothing. I like the concept of healthy donuts, but I just wasn't a big fan of the actually product, unfortunately Browsed the foods in the cooler, looked good, might have to be back to try something new next time.

I'm 100% in love with this place now. Staff and food was all ready before their scheduled open time, so definitely makes me believe they're a great team and ready to serve their local community. The guy who helped us was very informative and nice. I did mention it was our first time in so we were checking out the menu a bit, but mostly wanted donuts for breakfast. I'm not even a fan of regular donuts, but these ones are AMAZING. I didn't have the greasy turnoff from them, they were sweeter than I expected (without overdoing it), felt more filling than a regular donuts, and didn't make me feel guilty for eating 2. They offer different foods to go, or dine inside as well so I'll be trying out more of what they have and will continue telling others about this spot.

Chocolate Donut and Biscotti Donut both delicious and healthy
Barbara G.

Went today for the first time just have two protein donuts. Super yummy and 12 grams of protein. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back and try their meal prep soon.

This has to be some of the best donuts I've ever had. I came here right after a workout. I got one of each and ate two back to back. The donut was super flavorful, fluffy, and delicious. I couldn't even tell it was a protein donut. I will definitely come back! I didn't have to feel as guilty eating two donuts back to back. These donuts are amazing!

Jimmy T.

These are the best health donuts, with my wife being diabetic the lower in sugar a plus at about 3.5g sugar per donut and 12g protein per donut, come on! It doesn't get any better! The texture of these are similar to a croissant donut. Give them a try, you probably won't go back to a regular donut.

Earlier this year, being 18 months postpartum with my second and last baby, I decided it was time for me to make a big change and focus on me and my health. After several months at the gym, I was feeling discouraged because though the people close to me noticed change, I wasn't seeing it and the scale was not budging. My husband and I the decided to really focus on what we were putting into our bodies and start a meal prep, and chose protein bar to help guide us on this new journey! Now here I am a few months into incorporating The Protein Bar as a main part of our diet (along with counting macros and staying in a calorie deficit), and I am feeling better in my skin than I have in years! I am actually seeing changes in my body and my mental state, and I am happier and more confident than ever! The protein bar has given us so much ease in our evenings with simple healthy meals that we enjoy, as do our kids, and we do not have to give anything up like a sweet night cap with their incredible protein donuts. This is one of the best choices we have made for our health and I look forward to getting to taste all the new goodies they keep coming out with. Thank you The Protein Bar!! Pics and my husband and I almost exactly 1 year apart! PS the donuts are the best!

The donuts were amazing. Definitely recommend this place. The service is phenomenal. The drink I did like it but it had a small after taste. I usually don't like aftertastes but I didn't mind this one. Overall I will give this a 4.9 out of 5. Go get them protein donuts!

The Protein Bar Serving donuts, drinks, healthy meal preps and more!

I stumbled across an article mentioning The Protein Bar and it got me curious. A couple of weeks ago my mother stopped in to purchase some of the protein donuts for the family.She picked the strawberry for our first Protein Bar experience.She mentioned that they also have drinks available, meal prep that is ready to go or you can place an order. The strawberry donut was yummy! No aftertaste and certainly no guilt because it is packed with protein. This week I stopped in to try another donut.I decided on the blueberry with fresh blueberries on top for the whole family.This donut was also really good! Apparently their donuts are popular because I dropped in around 3:30 P.M. in the afternoon and they were low on donuts.I spoke with Jorge and he said that the S'more donut is the best seller.Now I know which donut to try next time. It may be helpful to place an order ahead of time if there is a specific flavor that you want since the donuts are popular.The Protein Bar offers healthy meal prep meals for sale.You can also place an order.They offer a variety of healthy dishes. A few worth mentioning are- The Brisket Protein Mac & Cheese, Pulled Pork With Jasmine Rice Berry,Coconut Curry Chicken Loaded Baked Potato, Brisket Taco and many other protein packed meals.If you visit their website you will see how delicious the food looks. https://www.theproteinbardonuts.com/ The atmosphere is nice and casual.A great place to grab a protein packed donut or meal for a snack,lunch or dinner. Convenient for those with a busy lifestyle looking for a healthy meal or snack before/after a workout. I haven't tried the food yet,but I will be sure to place an order for food next time and hopefully get a S'more donut. Stop in and give this a try!

Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

It is located in Valley Center, so be prepared for your trek. I always go with plenty of snacks, food and water. Having celiac means the food tents will not have options for any food restrictions, but maybe if you're lucky you can get a lemonade for $13 or something. Be prepared to shell out exorbitant amounts for any purchases. The pumpkin patch is a great place to get fall pictures, but the prices are wild. The rides are about $5 each for a minute or two. The bounce obstacle course was $5 for three times running through. It was unreasonable. The gift shop sold the cheapest temu crappy toys for $20!! Buy you're own toys at Walmart and bring them with you to keep the kids happy. I can buy junk on my own. The nuts and candy and dried fruits are probably the only thing I am ok with buying. It's about the price of Sprouts or Whole Foods. I'll usually buy my kiddo a treat and steer him away from the insanity of the price tags of the crappy toys and we're good to go. I buy my pumpkins at target though.

Cuisenery didn't have Bordier butter but when I was doing my online research, I found that both of the brands I mentioned are pretty good. I actually liked my Beurre d'Isigny butter better, but that's more likely due to it being unsalted versus the salted version I bought in Paris (apparently, you MUST use salted on your bread per the Parisians). They also had a bunch of other frozen foods and condiments, including frozen escargot in puff pastry, frozen baguettes, mustards, and jams.

They are willing to take the time to help you decide on the best meats and I was really impressed. No more fatty steaks and meat that turned into chocking hazards when cooked, everything we have purchased from this shop is excellent. The quality and freshness of their steaks are phenomenal! I have always been a good cook but with finding this shop it turned up my cooking to a whole new level. It's a good feeling to know that the owners and everyone working here are very honest and friendly. I'm picky about my food and this shop truly is a cut above.
